A remarkable study, which demonstrates that not all antibiotics have been created equal. Namely, the tetracycline family of antibiotics is strikingly protective against lethality from sepsis, and that protection is completely separate from their antibiotics effects. For example, the study...
Has anyone read/looked over this article? I've never heard of/knew this was possible until recently.
Tetracyclines function as dual-action light-activated antibiotics (in vitro/incubated cells)
I'll bold/quote some of the parts I thought were interesting, assuming this hasn't been...

Lol sorry , couldn't find better tittle for this.
Probably low, nonantibacterial dose of doxycycline is what we need for these effects. Like 20-40mg a day.

Even subantimicrobical dose, improves bone quality .
And apparently minocycline is the best tetracycline. But doxycycline is also interesting.

I posted a study about a month ago showing that the tetracycline class of antibiotics are potent inhibitors for a large number of cancer types. The proposed mechanism of action in that study was the fact that the tetracyclines were very toxic to the tumor mitochondria.
This study found that the...
It is a bit early to say that this will change the current perceptions on cancer, but the article does read like it came from Peat himself. Ironically, the suggestion to try antibiotics came from a 6-year old child which further strengthens the hypothesis that children are much much smarter than...
Excess iron is implicated in virtually all chronic pathologies as well as a number of acute infections. Ray has written about this and mentioned that phlebotomy is one good way to reduce iron overload. He also mentioned that coffee is another good method. However, one of these methods is...
